The village head couldn't say a word. He was sweating all over his head, just shaking his head.
If the excitement goes on like this, I think a good man will be driven crazy!
Then I pushed aside the people and shouted, "everyone should be quiet first, and let the village head make it clear."
There was a murmur of discontent from the villagers at once.
"Who are you? This is a private matter in our village. What does it have to do with you as a stranger? "
"He said he was a shady merchant..."
"Shh, don't mess with him! I think he's very active. If you offend him, you will not have a good life in the future. " Old Wu advised the villager.
As soon as the voice fell, no one talked about it again, and the eyes that looked at me became very awed.
I motioned for everyone to sit down and asked Pockmarked Li to move a stool to the village head.
"Village head, there have been many strange things happened in your salt free village over the years, all of which are caused by the grave in the forbidden area! If you want to solve the problem completely and prevent the tragedy from happening, you must make the truth clear to the villagers. " I said justly.
The village head looked at me and was silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and said: "you are right, young man. I did steal that tomb. In those years, there was a natural disaster, and there was no harvest in the field, so the whole village had a hard time. One day I went to another village for a meeting. When I came back, I heard two foreigners talk about tomb robbing. I also made a living by this. I wonder if there is any treasure hidden in the grave behind our village? When I have made up my mind, I will do what I say. After all, the grave is in the forbidden area. I dare not tell others, so I called the eldest son. I plan to dig the grave in the dark and collect some valuable things for food. As a result, Xiaomei heard about the discussion. She didn't feel afraid at all. Instead, she thought it was very interesting. She secretly took the crazy girl to watch the activity. I spent the whole night digging with my eldest son, and then we pried open the coffin. "
"What's in it?"
"It must be gold, silver and jewels, or can you support two donkeys at the village head's house?"
The villagers said enviously.
As if he had not heard it, the village chief continued, "there is only a dead bone left in the coffin, except for a bronze mirror and a small pile of funerary objects. For the first time, my oldest son and I were afraid of doing such a thing, so we only took a few things. Who knows Xiaomei came here with the crazy girl. She took a fancy to the mirror and said that she wanted everything. I couldn't beat her. Thinking that it wasn't worth any money anyway, she gave it to Xiaomei... "
Before he finished, the villagers had roared angrily: "what's wrong with my crazy girl? Why is she mad? "
A villager interposed and said: "what else? It must be that the village head didn't want to be known about tomb robbing, so he scared the crazy girl. She was young at that time. How could she stand this? The quick girl would be crazy... "
The villager stood up from the stool, roared and rushed to the village head: "you black hearted village head, I have wasted all these years to see you as a person! You have done this to a good girl of mine. "
The two wrestled together.
The villagers hurried up to the front to pull up the scaffolds and separated the villagers from the village head.
The village head's clothes were torn to pieces and his nose was spraying with blood.
Some people advised the villagers: "Uncle Wang, don't be angry. Isn't Xiaomei missing? Maybe there's something else
I was watching a good play, so I knew that the hometown was called Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang gasped and glared at the village head fiercely. It seemed that he was saying that if the village head didn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would go up and fight.
The village head seemed to be ten years old and said wearily, "in fact, my Xiaomei is not missing."
"What, the man?" Asked the villagers in surprise.
The village head wiped his nose with his sleeve and turned to a closed mud house and said, "come out, Xiaomei."
Soon, a thin figure with only skin and bones came out. From the moment she came out, the whole yard became surprisingly quiet. Even the sound of breathing is weak.
But she was tall and thin, with yellow hair. The most terrifying thing is that face, like being burned by fire, is full of ferocious scars, the corner of the mouth is still missing a piece, I feel a thrill.
The village head pointed to her and said, "this is my Xiaomei..."
Everyone couldn't believe the scene. Someone even wiped his eyes.
I was surprised, but I reacted immediately.
Xiaomei was skinned because she had looked in the mirror!
"At that time, my eldest son and I, in order not to be found, covered the coffin again and buried it," said the village head. Who knows that at this time, I heard a scream from Xiaomei in the distance. When my eldest son and I rushed by, Xiaomei had passed out in a bloody coma, but the crazy girl on the other side stared wide and could not say anything. At that time, I was scared to death. I thought that I had offended the ghost and the God, and it was Xiaomei's revenge. The eldest son told me that the bronze mirror was a little strange and told me to bury it quickly. I secretly took Xiaomei home. Knowing that she would be treated as a monster when she went out like this, I hid her completely. Xiaomei was also frightened. She couldn't speak from that day on, like a walking corpse. "Everyone looked at each other, but there was no voice.
Uncle Wang is also stupid. I never thought that his daughter would go crazy and involve so many things.
The village head said regretfully, "I let my eldest son sell the things stolen from the grave, but I didn't get much food back in total.". In those years, family life was not easy. You all came to my house to borrow rice noodles. How do you think my rice noodles came from? That's the money. Not a year later, my eldest son fell down and died when he went up the mountain, leaving me alone to live with Xiaomei. "
Everyone looked at the village head's eyes again, obviously becoming sympathetic.
"What did you do with that bronze mirror?" I asked the village head seriously.
The village head thought for a moment and said, "according to my eldest son, I dug a hole in the ground and buried it."
I couldn't help frowning. How did the mirror get back into the coffin?
Thinking of Zhang Qinghai's gesture when he died, I suddenly shivered.
Does that bronze mirror have its own consciousness? Every time it skinned a person, it would go back to the coffin by itself.
If this is the case, then the Yin is a little tricky this time
The village head looked at me for a few eyes: "young man, I have finished my speech. It's your turn."
When he said that, everyone immediately focused on me.
I coughed a little: "to tell you the truth, the four young people who came here last time, except Zhao Wuyang, who was next to me, were skinned. The reason is the same. They looked at the mirror. All the problems are focused on that mirror. If you want to solve these strange things, you have to deal with that mirror. "
"What do you say?" The village head was shocked: "they stole that grave again?"
